Nobex Radio Companion Gets An Update

Good news today for fans of Nobex Radio Companion as this awesome streaming radio app has been updated and is now better than ever! New features include:

See Lyrics - you can see the lyrics of the song that is playing (or recently played). If you are listening to the song through Nobex Radio Companion, you can even have the lyrics scroll synchronized with the song - turning your BlackBerry into your very own karaoke machine!

Read Song and Artist Info - Using the "Lyrics and More" screen, you can now see Artist and Song info too. You can find out how the band you love got together, and why they wrote that song you can't get out of your head.

Get Songs or Ringtones - with a single click, right from your mobile device. Or, choose to receive an email with links to buy the song on your PC, so you can always keep your music collection fresh!

Hear Song Snippets - if you're not sure if the song you just missed is the one you have been wanting to download.

And of course one thing Nobex DIDN'T CHANGE is the fact you can still view the playlist of over 2,700 radio stations around the world and listen to over 1000 of them! Users of Nobex will definitely want to upgrade to this latest version and for those of you haven't given it a go yet, now would be a great time to try out this free app!

The reason you have a huge choice of stations is for when you are in your car or somewhere that the radio is playing and you like the song that is on air and you want to get a reminder about that song you can. They can only stream stations that have a compatible radio stream.

I did notice with this version that there are some HD stations now available for playing.
I do like the addition of the Lyrics & more link.

IMO, i think that this is the best application for people who like to listen to actual radio stations that are on the air.

Some of you are missing the point of this app. I travel a lot as a DJ and when I am on the road, no matter where I am, if I hear a song that I want to use, this little program has saved me. I love it. To me, it's better than the song analyzing software because what if it's a bad reception area or you're at the tell end of the song. This thing can even back load.

I love that I can listen to real radio stations from all over!! I've been wanting to find a way to listen to an AM sports radio station here in Houston. So I listen through my bluetooth at work. And not only find out what the name of a song is but lyrics too.. also you can send info about song to your email. Awesome!!!

wojtas25 - to your question on TCp vs. BIS/BES - The answer is "both". Playlist information, album covers, lyrics, song and artist info, and other such info, is sent over BIS/BES (or Wifi). Only streaming is done over the direct TCP connection (or Wifi).

Feel free to send us questions/comments also to support@nobexinc.com, or on our forum on CrackBerry.com.

I emailed them and asked my Canada wasn't supported...they said something about the radio signals not containing the info they need. I dunno about you but I can see what the name of my station is/what song is playing from my car radio...I'd just love to have it on my BB!

This is AWESOME! I'm hard of hearing, and this is something the Deaf community can use. While I don't speak for the Deaf population, being able to display lyrics while listening to a song is pretty sweet.

Has anyone tried using this with headphones? I have a Storm and i couldn't get this to work with my headphones in. Led to some slightly embarassing moments at work when the speaker started blaring in my quiet office.

I see the options Bluetooth Basic and Bluetooth /advance when clicking play audio through but it will not connect / play even though Bluetooth/phone is already connected through hands free ? any solution ?
